Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.Canadians and Americans are discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education.56. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because _. A. they hope their children may easily find a job thereB. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesC. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesD. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends57. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids _.A. without parents B. living abroad aloneC. without university education D. speaking no English58. What is the main idea of the passage ?A. Parents want a better education for their kids.B. Parents feel lonely and miss their family.C. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.D. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.BYou know Australia is a big country, but you may not know how easy it is to get around. The untouched beaches that go for miles and deserts that touch the horizon are just there, waiting to be reached and explored. Following are the different ways you can explore our vast country.Getting around AustraliaAir Flying is the best way to cover large distances in a short time. You can spend more time on the Australias cant-miss landscapes and relaxing lifestyle. Moreover, competition among airlines makes great flying fees available for you.Drive Australia has a vast network of well-maintained roads and some of the most beautiful touring routes in the world. You have no difficulty finding car rental companies at major airports, central city locations, suburbs and attractions.Bus Bus travel in Australia is comfortable, easy and economical. Buses generally have air conditioning, reading lights, adjustable seats and videos. Services are frequent, affordable and efficient.Rail Train travel is the cheapest and gives you an insight into Australias size and variety, all from the comfort of your carriage. Scheduled services are a great way to get quickly between our cities and regional centers.Ferry(轮渡) The Spirit of Tasmania runs a passenger and vehicle ferry service between Melbourne and Tasmania nightly.

Central Australia has the worlds longest railway line D. you have to walk over a thousand kilometers in AustraliaCHistory is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A great breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldnt tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.Loewis experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.63. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreamsB. it is possible to “catch” ones dreams by planning before going to sleepC. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to ones problemsD. Loewis experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses64. The first paragraph is mainly organized by _.A. classifying types of experiments B. summarizing the work of one researcherC. comparing and exploring historical cases D. telling in time order about one mans research65. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _.A. asked someone else to do it B. thought it was a bad ideaC. tried it out on his own D. thought it was a wise idea66. According to the passage, the author seems to be in favor of _.A. seeking creative solutions B. avoiding scientific experimentsC. nervous feelings before dreamsD. becoming a famous scientistDIt often happens that a number of applicants（申请人）with almost the same qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates（候选人）. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.There are many arguments for and against the interview as a way of selection. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate. They choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a good assessment of each candidates likely performance. The main argument in favor of the interview is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with his or her suitable personality for the particular work situation. Man
